Green passed for 246 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 92 yards and another score in the Chargers’ 52-22 victory. Those aren’t gaudy numbers by any means, but don’t tell that to the tired Hurricanes, who chased him for most of Friday night at Boerne ISD Stadium.

On that third drive, Green connected with Chayce Bolli for a 32-yard score at the 1:30 mark of the first quarter to give the Chargers a 7-0 lead.

After the Hurricanes tied the score on Dewayne Brown’s 6-yard touchdown run on the final play of the first quarter, Champion took a 24-7 halftime lead thanks to Green’s 22-yard scoring pass to Isaac Murdoch and a 34-yarder to Bollli. Hunter Wilson had a 23-yard field goal between those scores.

“Those scores that we got, just to get a little cushion on them made them start doing things they didn’t want to,” Kaiser said.

Green’s 34-yard score to Bolli was set up by a botched fake punt attempt by Sam Houston that gave the Chargers the ball on the Hurricanes’ 31. Bolli scored three plays later.

“I made some terrible calls trying to call a fake punt,” Sam Houston coach Patrick Brown said. “I felt like we needed a spark to get us going, and I knew that we were going to need to change possessions at some point whether that was an onside or a fake punt.”

Green opened the third quarter with a 2-yard pass to Trey Moskal and rushed for a 36-yard score that made it 45-14 late in the third.

The Chargers next face Georgetown at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Alamo Stadium.

The Hurricanes (10-1) were searching for their second 11-win season in school history. This season’s team was only the second in program history to go 10-0 during the regular season.
